Cosmo Films has recently added two new products to its synthetic paper portfolio. One of the products is a digitally printable synthetic paper and other one is a high tear resistant synthetic paper.
The product launched for commercial digital printing can print with both powder toner based laser printers as well as liquid toner based printers. Laser printing is a newly introduced feature for the digital product and has been added keeping the huge potential of photo album and coffee table book printing segment in mind. It is printable with almost any production printer including HP Indigo, Xerox, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Canon – to name but a few.
Apart from laser printing, the product can undergo any printing process be it conventional or UV offset printing, UV and water based flexographic printing, thermal transfer printing, screen and letterpress, UV inkjet or HP Latex.
Brilliant whiteness of the product makes it appear very similar to paper and helps produce excellent print quality and true colour output.
The product has been engineered to be non tearable, displaying excellent tear resistance and has been designed specifically for tag applications. Some of the typical tag applications include garment hang tags, horticulture identification tags, tree tags, cattle identification tags and airport transfer tags.
Kapil Anand, global head for speciality labels and industrial films at the company, said: ‘We have a diversified portfolio of products under the Synthetic Paper category which currently find applications in retail and packaging, commercial printing, tags and labelling, and identification and credentials. Having said that, we are continuously working to fill in the market need gaps and also expand share of the pie. With these two new additions, we now cover the entire spectrum of print technologies and also offer a robust product with high tear resistance.’
